Abstract
A. H. “Buddy” Giesecke Jr, MD, is an important figure in the history of the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management at the University Southwestern Medical Center and at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas (Figure 1). He studied anesthesiology and later practiced there, where he worked closely with other renowned anesthesiologists, including M.T. “Pepper” Jenkins. Dr. Giesecke’s articles on endotracheal intubation in obstetrics and the interaction between succinylcholine and magnesium produced change in the practice of anesthesia. In his later years, he became interested in the history of anesthesia and was very active in the Anesthesia History Association. His passion for the specialty was evident in the way he spoke about anesthesia. Hear his words, and perhaps even his voice, in the interview below. school, I did my internship at William Beaumont Army Hospital in El Paso. I went into the army because the pay was better, and we were extremely poor. I went through medical school on $200 a month.
